It is the City Planner's determination that the project CDP 2017-0050-EKERLING ADU, is consistent with the city's applicable Coastal Development Regulations (Chapters 21.201 -21.205) and with all other applicable city ordinances and policies. The City Planner, therefore, APPROVES this request based upon the following: 1. That the total cost of the proposed development is less than $60,000. 2. That the proposed development requires no discretionary approvals other than a Minor Coastal Development Permit. 3. That the development is in conformity with the public access and public recreation policies of Chapter 3 of the Coastal Act, in that no opportunities for coastal access are available from the subject site, nor are public recreation areas required of the project because the project is not located adjacent to the shore. 4. The proposed development will have no adverse effect on coastal resources, in that the location of the property is not immediately adjacent to any body of water and the lot is already disturbed and developed with a single-family residence. 5. That the proposed development is in conformance with the Certified Local Coastal Program and all applicable policies in that the site is designated for residential uses in that the site is designated R-4 Residential which allows for residential development including a single-family home and an Accessory Dwelling Unit. The development consists of the construction of an attached 942-square foot accessory dwelling unit located on the second story of the existing single-family residence. The proposed accessory dwelling unit will not obstruct views of the coastline as seen from public lands or the public right-of-way, nor otherwise damage the visual beauty of the coastal zone. No agricultural uses currently exist on the site, nor are there any sensitive resources located on the property. Furthermore, the proposed accessory dwelling unit is not located in an area of known geologic instability or flood hazards.
